ABSTRACT
South and Central Palembang Sub-basins have shale hydrocarbon which are considerably promising in the Talang Akar and Lemat/Lahat Formations. Seismic interpretation results shows potential of shale hydrocarbon scattered in several areas around the Rukam-l, Kemang-l, SInga-l and Tepus'l wells. Generally, thermal modelingg results indicate early maturity of oil on the value of Ro= 0.6% at about 2000m depth (h), the oil generation value Ro=(0.7-0.9)% at between (2200 £ h<3100)m depth and the oil generation Ro values between (0.9-1.2)% at a depth between (3100-3500m, Talang Akar and Lahat/Lemat Formations have a shallow marine depositional environment with Type II/III kerogen and lacustrine with Type III kerogen respectively. Based on advanced seismic data processing (seismic attributes and spectral decomposition) these areas are expected to have TOC>value2%. The calculation (P-50) of potential unconventional oil and gas recources at Talang Akar and Lahat/Lemat Formations is estimated to be fairly large (up tp 4200 MMBOE)(Author)
